What is the best way to store sushi in a refrigerator?

by

Sushi Chef & Sake Sommelier
Sushi is a dish that tends to dry out easily if it is stored the wrong way.

All ingredients used in sushi are fresh and raw.
You know it from tomatoes. If you cut a tomato allow it to lie without being wrapped properly the surface will dry. The same thing happens with sushi. It does not taste very good.

What causes sushi to dry out easily is the direct contact with air.
Sushi should be stored in an airtight container. If that is not possible, let us say you bought sushi for a dinner and it takes up a lot of space in your fridge.

The next best thing to do is to wrap cling film tightly around the sushi so that no air gets in. It is important to wrap in such a way that the individual pieces of sushi do not break.

Sushi should always be eaten at room temperature. It tastes the best.
Approx. 15 minutes before you sit down to eat, you take the sushi out of the fridge and leave it on the kitchen table (without a lid).

You do not always have to buy sushi.

On the Sushi course for beginners, you learn step by step how to make tasty sushi for everyday use and parties.

Is porridge suitable for sushi?

by

Sushi chef & sake sommerlier Zoë Escher

There are many different types of rice, and pudding rice is just one of them.
A question I am frequently asked is whether pudding rice can be used for sushi. My immediate answer is no even though pudding rice also falls into the category of short-grain rice.

That said, I should mention that I have not personally tried making sushi with pudding rice. However, I have made rice pudding many times, and the texture of cooked pudding rice is noticeably different from that of properly cooked sushi rice.

While it might not be something most people think about, the texture of the rice has a significant impact on the overall taste experience. If the sushi rice does not have the right consistency, it can affect the entire dish. Sushi rice plays a key role in the quality of sushi. It should be tender yet firm, never undercooked in the center, and certainly not overcooked. Achieving this requires a specific type of short-grain rice that is cultivated especially for sushi.

In our beginner sushi course, you will learn which types of rice are best suited for sushi and how to cook them properly to achieve sushi rice of the highest quality.

Learn how to make sushi that can be enjoyed all year round!

by

Sushi is a dish that stands out from most other meals prepared in a kitchen.

It is enjoyed cold all year round, whether for lunch or dinner. This places unique demands on the ingredients used in its preparation—they must be as fresh and high-quality as possible.

Sushi is one of the few dishes that can provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals in a single meal, without compromising on taste or requiring a fully vegan approach.

Additionally, sushi is highly customizable, allowing you to use exactly the ingredients that make it your favorite.

However, there are certain ground rules.

Japanese culinary techniques play a crucial role in ensuring you get the best possible flavor and value for your ingredients. There is a world of difference in taste between self-taught methods and the techniques used by professional sushi chefs in Tokyo.

Can all types of vegetables be used for sushi?

by

Sushi chef & sake sommelier Zoë Escher
Not all types of vegetables can be used for sushi.
A vegetable like eggplant is not suitable for sushi at all. There are several reasons why

If you cut an eggplant into slices, then it is not firm in consistency. And once it is cooked on a pan or in the oven, it is very soft and falls apart easily.

Eggplant is also a vegetable that in itself does not have much flavor. It requires the use of some other ingredients that can provide an extra flavor dimension.

Onions are also not a raw material that is optimal to use for sushi.
No matter what type of onion is used, onions have a rather strong taste. Raw onions can also bother the stomach and, not everyone wants to smell of onions the rest of the evening.

At Sushi course for beginners, you learn step by step, to prepare and slice ingredients and make tasty sushi according to the Danish Food Administration’s rules.

What type of soy sauce uses exclusive Japanese sushi restaurants in Tokyo?

Exclusive Japanese sushi restaurants differ from other restaurants. In Europe, most people are using the Michelin guide as a yardstick that is not the case in Japan.

It is a soy sauce that the sushi chefs have often developed themselves but it does happens that it is a recipe that has been passed on for generations. Unfortunately, the soy sauce is secret.
